took me 2.5hrs to build and install XP on the pc I just built for my Bro and that was because of the problems getting the IDE devices identifying in the right order. Normally it is 45mins to build, 30mins to format, 35 mins to install windows xp. Then of course there is 2-4hrs of getting the software and games where you want it.

Frankly, it is half a days work, anyone can manage that?

Looks good but your case comes with a PSU (not recommended) and your purchasing one. Can you grab a case without a PSU for cheaper? Plus I would look at a better brand then Thermaltake for the PSU like Corsair, Seasonic, Silverstone and to a slightly lesser extent OCZ (OCZ parts selection has fallen off a bit lately but still solid). I would read a few reviews on PSU's if possible to make sure you get a good one, a poor one will give you lots of headaches.

Otherwise your system looks really nice cough*Ihateyou*cough. What operating system are you running? XP or Vista? If your going Vista I would suggest 4GB of ram as 2GB seems to bottle neck Vista from what I read (no hands no experince with it though)

Cheers,

Close your eyes and imagine some really cool military picture, or better yet a really funny picture in this space. I said close your eyes damnit!
